About: I am the ultimate dog lover who will love on your baby!! I have had dogs my whole life, and never lived without one. We have two dogs currently, one is an XL Newfoundland dog who needs special care (hips), so I am well equipped to work with any type of dog. We have a massive fenced in backyard for playtime, and your pup will be included in our 2 pack walks per day. My husband and I work from home, so your pup will rarely be left alone during the day. I work from home full-time, so I am around the house for company and walks throughout the day. Our dogs typically get 2-3 walks a day plus playtime in our massive backyard! I have two dogs to keep yours company, so he/she will never feel alone or bored. I will treat your pup as if he/she were mine… lots of TLC and belly scratches!

About: Dogs have always been an extension of my family. I’ve had them my whole life and currently care for my 18-year-old chihuahua mix rescue, so I’m especially mindful of senior needs and giving pets the patience and love they deserve. I work from home, live in a pet-friendly apartment with a dog park on-site, and I’m just a stroll away from dog-friendly cafes and parks, perfect for pups who love fresh air and social time. Whether your dog needs play, snuggles, or a little extra attention, I’m here for it all. Pet care is part of my everyday life; it’s second nature. Since I work from home, I build my day around walks, outdoor breaks, meals, and quality time with my senior pup. I’m used to working with a pet nearby and love having that companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I’ve got the flexibility to give pets the attention they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture, dog fur doesn’t scare me one bit. I have a cozy space, an on-site dog park, and the flexibility to give them plenty of attention since I work remotely. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable, sticking to familiar routines to reduce any stress.
“5 ⭐️s! I’ve been using Rover since 2017, so I’m familiar with the variety of care takers that Rover attracts. If you want a loving, hands on, kind and attentive pet sitter, Manuela is your girl. She watched my pup Xena for the afternoon and Xena loved her so much she didn’t want to leave! Manuela’s pup is playful, kind, and well behaved. The perfect play mate! I highly recommend Manuela as a sitter and I can’t wait to return! Thank you so much 🙏🏾”
“Chris is great! We have used him a number of times for our beagle puppy, Texas. She comes back tired and happy. Chris is sure to send photos during her stay. He's always flexible with changes in pickup time and drop off. We had a short stay most recently and he went the extra mile to offer splitting our play-care over 2 days for the price of one. Really appreciated that attention and customer service. Definitely recommend.”
About: With nearly four years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my own childhood pup, I understand the importance of trust and personalized attention when it comes to your pet. Working from home allows me the flexibility to offer care while you’re at work or enjoying time with friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’ve got it covered! I’m experienced with senior dogs, ensuring they get the medications they need on time, as well as sticking to special diets when required. From puppy energy to senior snuggles, I treat each dog like they’re my own, providing the love and attention they deserve. Let me give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands! As someone who works from home most days, I have the flexibility to give your dog all the attention they need—including frequent bathroom breaks and daily walks along the beautiful Lady Bird Lake! Living close to the lake and surrounded by Austin’s many parks, I can ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time to run, play, and explore. Since I’m already walking by the lake every day, bringing a furry friend along just adds to the fun! Whether it’s a casual stroll or an energetic play session, your dog will have an adventure-filled day while you’re away. Let me make sure they enjoy Austin’s outdoor beauty to the fullest!! While I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space to comfortably crate your dog if needed, with options in the living room or entryway. Located near Lady Bird Lake and several parks in Austin, your dog will have ample opportunities to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I treat every dog with the same care and love as my own, and I’m committed to respecting your home too. You can trust me to leave your space exactly as I found it, ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for.
